I was so inspired by the conference. The range of speakers, the diversity of people attending, and their overall passion for change.

Change 2022 delegate

The breadth of topics across multiple sectors, as well as ample opportunities to talk with both practitioners and academics in an informal setting, are key strengths.

Change 2019 delegate

I loved that we all had the same conference experience.
